His pole is the fist in and the last out, today he caught the biggest eye.
I post here to share what my father had taught me so others can enjoy this sport.
I hope others can learn and share with their children.

How do you run a spreader with an erie and a harness without getting them tangled? Do you just drop it down and let it drift while you are using another pole?
Spreader straight down just off the bottom, no bling and d a juicy night crawler. The worm harness is cast and drift out 20 yards or so, with a light weight and gold small blade with same night crawlers (I have used shiners too for both setups.)Quote:

I have a rope system on the back engine cowling that keeps the pole safe from taking a swim into the lake.
The best conditions are a .5 to .7 mph drift.
If you would like I can take a photo of the set up next time I am out to give you the visual of poles and ropes.
Good questions,
be safe.
